PATIENCE

Oh My! If you only knew how long it took me to post this picture. You would all feel very sorry for me. It's started last Wednesday when my 8 year old, decrepit computer caught a virus. If you are in my email contacts, you probably already know this. Everyone got a lovely spam advertising male enhancement pills. I am so sorry. If it makes you feel better, that computer is now sitting in lots of little pieces in the back of my car, waiting to go to the recycle center. I am now blogging on my new iMac! It's wonderful, except for a few glitches. Like all my photos got transferred over into separate files instead of my well used, well known PC files. It took only about an hour to find this. No fear, lots of iMac classes are scheduled, so I should be up to snuff shortly. Anyways, this is from another quilt in the Victory Girls book. Polly found some vintage embroidered kitchen towels with kitty images on them. All of them referred to the home front during WWII. Since gas was rationed, biking was a necessity. The original towels were in a group of seven - like days of the week. We came up with 2 more images and reworked them into this quilt

Glenn, from Yarn + Needle did the stitching for us. Thanks, Glenn! I then put them together with some string pieced blocks, (Very recycle friendly that string piecing!) and came up with this.

Oh, and have you heard about a Moda Designer Blog Hop that will be starting soon? I'll have more later. After my class, when I learn how find photos.

What a cute block and thanks for posting! I too have an imac and I'll tell ya, start out right and get those photos into events or folders asap. If you don't then you have a big glob of photos you can't really find easily. I have a pc at work and frankly, I think it's easier to do photos on it. Always thought the mac would be more intuitive but, hmmm...not really.

First thnaks for the suprise gife I won last time! It arrived yesterday and I'm still grinning and thinking of the best way to use it;-) And I love your kitty quilt because I love cats and the colors are just beautiful.Greetings from germany Hildy
